Keiler Pils

Keiler Pils is produced in bottled form at Kulmbacher but this draft version is done at Würzburger Hofbräu who bought the original brewery in 2001. As served at the Keiler Brauhaus, it's a clean, semi-dry, semi-bitter classic Pils.

Landwehr-Bräu Toppler Pils on tap

Landwehr-Bräu Toppler Pils is another Helles in disguise of a Pils, not untypical in Franconia. I found their Edel oddly more hoppy in flavor if not the nose. I suggest their Altfränkisch Dunkel but if you must drink a lighter color beer, I'd still with the Helles.

Spessart Räuberchen Pils on tap

Spessart Pils is a good looking example of the style with a creamy head and nose of grain and hops. Quite balanced with a fair semi-dry hoppy palate with fair malt backbone. The lingering finish is moreishly dry and just bitter enough.
